Okay, if you say so. I was just looking for wheel size / type / bolt pattern info so I could point the guy to sources.

That said, there were certainly "half inch" sizes out there, although looking in my shop manual they were on tubeless, one piece rims.

My '66 D-100 had split rim, tube type wheels on it. It was a pain in the ass, finding people who would touch them. I "think" they were 16", it's been 30 years. 8 lugs. It was a D-100, but had a bunch of HD options. IDK if they were factory, dealer, or something some previous owner did.

My '71 D-100 (slant 6) had regular old 15" rims like a car.

My '60 W-200 has American Racing wheels that came on it (the white steel ones with the triangle cutouts, but the "spare" it came with was a split-rim, and I could have sworn it said 16.5" on the rotted tire before I got rid of it. But that was years ago, and it might easily have been the wrong tire / wheel for the truck. I would go look, but I chucked it, and got another matching AR wheel and matching radial for the spare.

Anywho, I hope the guy gets the wheels he needs.

No sweptline D100, ever, had an 8 lug axle! W100, yes, 61-68.
Its possible some idiot put a 16.5" tire on a 16" split rim. They're lucky to be alive! NO 16.5" rim was split. ALL were tubeless.
